about

This was something I wrote about how I was feeling about turning 28 and originally meant to be something I'd read out in a little video but then it turned into a whole song and video. I wrote this the day before my birthday (March 2nd) and recorded the video on my birthday. Hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Today is my birthday, I’ve made it, I’ve lived past the cursed 27, I will not join the fallen, Mother nature rest their souls.
Wow, 28, I’m 2 years away from the big three O and I cannot wait to be 30 flirty and thriving.
Honestly, some days I feel like I’m just surviving, conserving my energy but I’m still enjoying life, I am determined to enjoy it.

I’m immensely proud of how much I’ve grown over the years, increasing my knowledge of self and taking care of myself with cups of tea, good shows on Youtube and Netflix, good books, cathartic jams on my piano and guitar and most importantly, naps.

I’ve got a lot planned for this year and the next coming years and I’ve learned how to work around my limitations and when to gently push them.
With patience and persistence I make good things happen in my own time.

If I were to describe Natasha, Tash, Lilac Underworld, Pixie T or however you know me, they are just many names for the same being, I would say that she is chaos, she is elegance, she is playfulness, she is softness, darkness and power.
The inner child that will never die, the fire that can never be put out even when it is but a flickering flame and she is brilliant and she needs to remember this.

So here’s to my 28th year on this earth and to many more and I look to the future with a heart full of pride and eyes wide open with awe.
Happy birthday to me!
